Notes:
New acrylate based polymers, with the potential to be converted to polyphenolic polymers - poly[2-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)ethyl acrylate] (4) and poly[3-(4-benzyloxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propyl acrylate] (9) - were prepared from the corresponding monomers 3 and 8 by free-radical polymeri- zation, initiated by 2,2′-azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN). The acrylate monomers, 2-(4-benzyloxy- pheny1)ethyl acrylate (3) and 3-(4-benzyloxy-3-methoxyphenyl)propy1 acrylate (8), were synthes- ized from acryloyl chloride and the corresponding alcohols - 2-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)ethanol(2) and 3-(4-benzyloxy-3-methoxyphenyl)- 1 -propano1 (7), respectively. The monomer 7 was prepared from 3-(4-benzyloxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-propene (6) by hydroboration/oxidation and 6 was obtained from eugenol(4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol) as the starting material. The compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FTIR, and elemental analyses. The molecular weight of the synthesized polymers was determined by gel-permeation chromatography (GPC).
